​Hi Friends,

I plan to calculate the infrared spectrum of anatase TiO2 bulk using pw.x
(scf), ph.x calculates phonon frequencies and effective charge etc..  Then
the dynmat.x is used to calculate LO-TO splitting.

The ph.x calculation is performed at single q, i.e., q=0.0,0.0,0.0 in ph.in
file

​
The question is how to define the
​​
propagation direction of LO-TO splitting, q(i), i=1,2,3, in the dynmat.in
file?

For instance, how to set q(1),q(2),q(3)?​
